I haven't had a girlfriend for nearly 3 years, and I'm only 16. When I was youner I used to have a girlfriend all the time, I used to be able to go and ask the girl out to her face, then I started asking my friends to ask them for me, but now I daren't even do that. I guess that I'm scared of being knocked back, because its happened a few times lately. The last time I had a girlfriend, I had to end it, because I didn't feel right, it was like starting all over again. I also think that I have lost all my confidence. I can't even approach a girl that I don't know anymore, the only time that I can, is when I've had a few beers. Sometimes it gets me really down, because I feel something for sum1 and can't tell them. I'm starting to think that its something about me that puts girls off. :(

Hey there !

I know exactly what you are going through. I've been with the same girl for over three years and sometimes I feel like I won't be able to go over a speak to girls if ever we brake up since I have the feeling that I forgot how it's done.

The only thing I can siggest you is keep on trying and forger that fear and eventually you will overcome it. I am not saying you won't get burned in the way but don't let it stop you. Keep asking girls out, don't be afraid and it will go away. Another pointer, I've notice that a lot of girls find the shy guys very CUTE, so this whole thing might even work for you.

Good Luck!!

Well, I can understand what your going through. Talking to the other sex can be difficult sometimes. What you need to do when your talking to someone you don't know is introduce yourself, get to know the person and don't ask them out the day you meet them. Take a while to make sure your comfortable with the person and then you can talk about having a relationship. I understand your only 16, but a relationship comes with responsibility and a lot of hard work, your always going to have things you don't like about the person, or quite often, things about the person that annoy you to pieces. But what counts is that you love them and are willing to make sacrifices to be with the person so that you both can be happy. You might think I have gone to in-depth with this, but I'm just telling you my views of what a successful relationship is made of. Also remember that eveyone gets shot down sometimes, its part of life. It helps you mature and it shapes what you look for in a relationship, as well as your views on how a successful relationship is composed of.
